I really liked the illustrations in this one. It's even better than the first one, [b:The Rainbow Fish|766020|The Rainbow Fish|Marcus Pfister|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1328755881s/766020.jpg|56647]. Each new page comes in a new hue, and they're so pretty you almost want to eat them. My son was really uneasy when he realized in the story they were headed for a sea monster's cave. I had to promise him we would skip a page if it was too scary, and indeed we went through some of them pretty fast. But rest assured, there's nothing bad in this book and in fact it's a good lesson in courage.

I'll make sure to either borrow it again, or procure myself a copy of it, the pictures are just so pretty! ( )

One of Rainbow Fish’s friends is sick, and the only thing that will make him better is a special plant that grows beyond a scary trip. Rainbow fish decides to be brave in order to help his friend feel better. After the trip to get the plant, Rainbow fish discovers that the scary things were just other plants and animals that really weren’t scary; it was just their imagination.

Rainbow Fish and the Sea Monsters' Cave, is about a little fish who has to face his fears. The main theme in this book, is that it is okay to be afraid, but to face your fears. I would use this book in my classroom to demonstrate beautiful pictures to my students. I would also use this book in addition to a lesson about fear and worry. I would recommend this book to children of all ages. ( )

A group of fish come across a sea monster that is laying on the bottom of the ocean. They ask him what is wrong, and it turns out he is sick and the only thing to cure him is red algae. The algae needed is only found far away from the cave. Rainbow fish and his friend travel the long journey to find this algae to help the monster.
